As the director of a project on The BIOsphere and the COSmos, it is my pleasure and privilege to inform you that Dr. Serge Chibisov has been elected as an honorary member and as the representative of Russia and the associated states, on our board. We plan to bring the plaque attesting to this fact to the next meeting, wherever it may be held, with sponsorship by BIOCOS.

Our joint bibliography (Appendix I) attests to Dr. Chibisov’s many contributions, better than anything we may write can do. Jointly we validated, with inferential statistical means, all the solar periods reported in physics, not only in Chizhevsky’s data, but some of these periods in current and past military affairs, including the data base of 2,556 years by Wheeler. We have found solar signatures in political affairs, as Chizhevsky showed first. With Chibisov we added inferential statistical validation. Most recently, we could validate the beat periods reported by Charles L. Wolff as consequences of the sun’s rotation, in human heart rate and human time estimation over 40 years. The consensus arrived at, at meetings in Moscow, among engineers and physicists on the one hand and biologists and physicians on the other hand, is being implemented. Professor Chibisov is pivotal in introducing routine blood pressure monitoring around the clock for 7 days into his university. As a true leader, he has monitored himself as an example for his students from all over the world and internationally. We hope very much that he will continue to lead Russia’s chronobiologic science so that the flow of new findings will continue. All of the numbers of BIOCOS wish him good health for effective leadership for many years to come.
